It might appear modest from the outside but this sweet neighbourhood restaurant is run by a friendly, professional team and has an appealingly relaxed, cosy atmosphere. It’s set over two floors; stay downstairs to soak up the atmosphere from the on-view kitchen run by the keen young team. Seasonal ingredients are foraged or organic, and preserving and pickling play a key role. The imaginative, well-balanced and deftly prepared tasting menu is the most popular choice among guests. The ingredients are top-notch; the combinations are original and provide plenty of contrasts; and the flavours are clear and natural. Service is polite and friendly and the chef-owner, George Livesey, often delivers a dish or two to the table himself.
